Haydn Rushworth shares his AI filmmaking journey with all on YouTube and says, “Finally, AI Filmmaking Tools I DESPERATELY Need!”

He has a list of 18 categories of things he feels filmmakers need to specify and,

“Number one and number two for me are gaze control and expression control.”

He explains:

“The reason you need gaze control or eye control is because where a character is looking in a story tells you everything about what they want or what they don’t want, what they’re afraid of. It shows you what their desires are, what their hopes, their dreams, their aspirations, the thing that they’re working towards. The thing that is most important to them in any given moment is revealed through what they are looking at.”

He squeals, “She’s looking at the guy. She’s looking at the guy. She’s looking at the guy!”

My take: Hayden is right. More control is critical for all AI filmmakers.
